Intro:
C  Em7  Ebmaj7  Cadd9
C  Em7  Ebmaj7  Cadd9
C  Em7  Ebmaj7  Cadd9
C  Em7  Ebmaj7  Cadd9
Verse 1:
C                       Em7
Squint your eyes and look closer
       Ebmaj7                Cadd9
I'm not between you and your ambition
       C                   Em7
I am a poster girl with no poster
      Ebmaj7                Cadd9
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
        C                      Em7
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
       Ebmaj7             Cadd9
So you might want to turn your head
       C                      Em7
Cause someday you're going to get hungry
        Ebmaj7                Cadd9
And eat most of the words you just said


C  Em7  Ebmaj7  Cadd9
C  Em7  Ebmaj7  Cadd9

Verse 2:
        C                 Em7
Both my parents taught me about good will
    Ebmaj7              Cadd9
And I have done well by their names
        C                       Em7
just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
    Ebmaj7         Cadd9
is more than I can explain
              C                      Em7
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
        Ebmaj7                  Cadd9
just so I would think they were not home
    C                  Em7
and hid in the dark of their windows
        Ebmaj7          Cadd9
til I'd passed and left them alone


Chorus:
        C      Em7    Ebmaj7   Cadd9
O-o-o-o-oh hey ya hey yaaah
        C      Em7    Ebmaj7   Cadd9
O-o-o-o-oh hey ya hey ya-a-a   aah
        C      Em7    Ebmaj7   Cadd9
O-o-o-o-oh hey yo hey yaaah
        C      Em7    Ebmaj7   Cadd9
O-o-o-o-oh hey ya hey ya-a-a   aah


Verse 3:
        C                      Em7
And god help you if you are an ugly girl
       Ebmaj7             Cadd9
Course too pretty is also your doom
      C                  Em7
Cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
        Ebmaj7            Cadd9
For the prettiest girl in the room
        C                   Em7
And god help you if you are a phoenix
        Ebmaj7          Cadd9
And you dare to rise up from the ash
          C                  Em7
A thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
       Ebmaj7      Cadd9
While you are just flying ...

C  Em7  Ebmaj7  Cadd9
back...
C  Em7  Ebmaj7  Cadd9

Verse 4:
      C                    Em7
And I never try to give my life meaning
   Ebmaj7    Cadd9
By demeaning you
      C                   Em7
And I would like to state for the record
      Ebmaj7            Cadd9
I did everything that I could do
    C                    Em7
I'm not saying that I am a saint
        Ebmaj7            Cadd9
I just don't want to live that way
    C                  Em7
No, I will never be a saint
 Ebmaj7         Cadd9
...but I will always say


Verse 5:
C                       Em7
Squint your eyes and look closer
       Ebmaj7                Cadd9
I'm not between you and your ambition
       C                Em7
I am a poster girl with no poster
      Ebmaj7                Cadd9
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
        C                      Em7
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
       Ebmaj7             Cadd9
So you might want to turn your head
       C                     Em7
Cause someday you might find you are starving
        Ebmaj7                Cadd9
And eating all of the words that you said...
